Actually staff had dropped off felmyst this week but im passing it to some others for whom it is more of an upgrade. Our bad luck is with t6 boot tokens, we got 3 conqs the first week and 3 prots the next.=( Hopefully will be 3 vanqs this week.

That is hilarious, for the past 2 months (in sunwell) we have seen 2 conquerer items drop, total.

I am now 7/8 T6 (although I now have my shoulders replaced with Amice of the Convoker).

We got M'uru down last night, went pretty smoothly once we slowed it down and got everyone working together. Did it with 3 tanks as well (most strats recommend 4). Then we got to see our first bit of KJ, the fight looks like a ton of fun, although I can see it becoming a cluster-fudge real quickly if people aren't doing what they need to be doing the entire time.

It's too bad we didn't have the attendance to raid on Wednesday, we probably could have gotten KJ down last night if we had a full night on him instead of an hour.

Hehe we were killing shadowfiends all through his chat at the end, I think about 4-5 people diead after he did. Last person to get infected though was my WE which luckily I managed to dismiss in time :)

I finally made it to 70 and have about 1 day /played on him. With that being said I'm fully epic (minus trinks) thanks to my guild and some pugs. I ran Kara/SSC/TK & BT for my gear along with Heroic MGT for the chest. I got the staff from Kael in TK, The Nexus Key, and a wand from Solarian I think. Can't remember where I got it. I'm enjoying the mage at the moment which has become the new main, although I still PvP on my warrior. There's my accomplishments...gratz to all the others. Anobix, GL with KJ, hope he goes down before WotLK!!

Epic flying, FTW! :) I thought about doing the questline that led to the Netherwing dailies, then doing them, but I'm beat. I think I just have to kill zuluhed, so it shouldn't be hard to get a group together to do that tomorrow. Sigh. :)

So, a very good and close DK friend and myself decided to run ZG for the tiger mount. I still had my lures for the fish boss and we gave it a go.

I now have Polymorph: Turtle and I know it's silly, but that spell makes me feel like a complete mage.

Also: How did this thread get down so far?

2 pc T7. Shoulders and Gloves. Also almost full Naxx 10 clear. Four Horsemen was a fun fight.

4pc T7. All I lack is the helm and I am not getting it because my eng goggles are way better. I just want to replace a few more items and I will be pretty happy.

I guess this is an accomplishment -- taking a break from WoW/Raiding. Tired of it, tired of getting passed on loot (as an officer of a loot council) when I have received the least amount of loot of anyone that is currently raiding with one of the highest attendance records. I don't take 10dps increase pieces I pass those to people who need them more than I do, but when Gothik's cowl, Life and Death, Turning Tide, Illustration, Dying Curse, Cincture of Polarity etc all drop (some multiple times) I expect to try to get at least one... nope.

Sorry to hear that, Anobix. I always enjoy your posts about raiding, both here and on EJ. It sucks that you're getting passed up for that kickass gear, because I can tell you work hard for it. I'm taking a small break myself due to not being able to find a raiding guild. I'm just going to explore and do achievements and maybe get loremaster so I can make some nifty capes. Make some cash, hang out with friends.

Anyway, I hope your guild learns to appreciate you soon and that you go back to raiding and find it fun again. But take the time you need so that you don't hate the game. Good luck, I'll miss you if you're gone from the forums for very long.

It's not that they don't appreciate me or what I do, it's more that I don't feel like I get my fair share I guess, I don't know. That and raiding til 2AM and being up for work at 7AM 3 days a week does a toll on your body especially when you are trying to be healthier for the new year etc. I don't be leaving the forums, what else am I going to do during my work day?!

Yep, I'd be a little upset about that too. I have experienced that sort of thing in the past. Like losing Grand Eng Cowl from VR to a spriest, etc. It sucks to miss out on wanted gear and I'm sure I'll be upset if I lose Turning Tide to anyone.

We'll miss you, Anobix. ^^

Raiding until 2 am sucks bad, i raided on a west coast server (rivendare) through last winter and it killed me at work as I live in Ohio. I was dps officer and kept dkp in the guild i ended up leaving and it was a hard decision. I ended up going to an est server after a lot of looking for a guild that fit me, and raiding 3 nights a week from 8pm est until 12 est has been a godsend. Sorry to hear about the issues though. The guild I am in now is loot council also, but it is rotating loot council and i really like the setup.

Well, this is probably premature, but I think I've found a home raiding guild. They're not min/max raiders, they cut up and **** off a lot, but they DO raid, and they're awesome to figure **** out with. Anyway, I hope it works out, and I know I'm in the "honeymoon stage" with them, but I think they have the right balance of "this is a game, let's have fun" and "what are the stats/numbers/etc we need to do this raid boss?"

My dps wasn't the greatest on this fight, but here's the guild's first down of Sapph (I've wiped on him so many times I can't count, but I counted this one with pigs, took 8 tries lol, but I've downed him a few times before this, this is just really my first progression with a guild in Wrath). I got high watching it. You don't see -me- much, but you can see my ffb coming mostly from the right. Nobody died. It's pretty cuz it's from the POV of the MT. I'd love to see it from a mage's POV, so maybe I should figure out fraps. I love the music too.

The Turning Tide is finally mine. I also got new boots, bracers, a belt, and a new OH. All I want is a new cape and the T7.5 helm and I am ready for 3.1.

To think, I almost lost her. Those 3 weeks were like a nightmare for me and I am dreaming even now I got her back. One day I will wake up and she'll be gone. I did a couple cosmetic things. Got a name change from Pyrolexia to Lisette and I changed my face to one with lipstick. 3 years I never changed naught but her hair, I wanted a change, even a little one.

I was banned for things done while I was hacked. It took them 3 weeks to decide to restore my account after 3 replies they had come to the right conclusion. I am still puzzled and slightly afraid they will reverse it yet again.

Yeah, I'm loving arcane since I respecced at lvl 80. I think I've seen one 6.2k crit off of an AB, which is amazing to me when the last time I was maxed out level wise as a lvl 60 warlock years ago, I was amazed at a 3k crit from Curse of Doom when I was specced SM/Ruin. XD

Got my full Valorous set completed last night. Kel dropped 2 tokens and I got the second one.

Finally hit exalted with KT on Thursday. I thought about getting the purple robe they have, but then decided that giving up 1.6% crit wasn't worth the extra 8 SP and upgrading to a purple. =x Saturday night I also stayed up until 4 am trying to get as much of the Noblegarden meta achievement done as I could. As far as egg hunting goes, I still need 94 chocolates for the pet and 100 for the polymorph book if I have time to farm that. I don't know how I'm going to manage to find a female dwarf on a pvp server for the bunny ears achievement, but maybe if I still around Dal enough I'll find one.

Grats. We are hoping for Mim down this week + general. We had a few >8% wipes last thursday (our last raid day of the week), so barring that we should be able to get both down and get a few good looks at Yogg. The fight looks awesome.

Nice pigtails. Hodir is a fight all its own, i haven't tried it as arcane but buff stacking totally makes mages and elemental shamans OP on that fight. Also, on that fight you will see the huge crits in any of the mage specs. Don't let that fight make up your mind. Arcane will likely be king again after 3.2.2 but any of the 3 specs is viable. I usually run ttwfb and switch to ffb for Hodir but I may try arcane again after the patch.

On a side note, 25m heroic Northrend Beasts down last night, I think it is US top 175 but not positive.
